The threat to the rule of law in the United States is profound and historically unprecedented. President Donald Trump recently threatened to deploy the armed forces in more American cities.
He told hundreds of generals and admirals that some of them would be called upon to take a primary role at a time when his administration has launched occupations of American cities.
Trump's administration has also deployed tens of thousands of troops across the US, created a framework for targeting domestic enemies, and cast his political rivals as subhuman. He claimed cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco "are run by the radical left Democrats" and stated, "We're going to straighten them out one by one."
